how can i know if they lost MY btc? i can't even log in!

Bitstamp said they will cover the loss, probably by their own money. And they should do that to regain some of their business's reputation, otherwise nobody would trade on their site anymore.

where can i find their statement about this?

dont hold a big amount of BTC in exchanges. you can use a more secure hardware-wallet:

(but also dont hold ALL BTC in just one place.)

tell that to day traders, they're different from us long term holders. They need to store large amount of coin and fiat on exchanges.

iam pretty sure bitstamp will cover the loss and they will be back online soon.

"A couple of exchanges will fail either due to regulations or fraud/incompetence of the owner."

One down 13 to go.

how did you count 13?

You're right, it should be more. I need one more exchange to make "a couple".

Vircurex is good enough?

It needs to be this year to qualify. lol

It had been done in the past a couple of times and they fixed it.

I believe they will do the same this time.

They are good.

They should publish a text explaining what's happening

explaining what? WE didn't care about you, fouls?

BitStamp is down for sure. why? they have two options:

1. they cover the loss but their credibility will be almost zero anyway.who will deposit money into a former hacked system? maybe in time...but time is money and i am sure Bitstamp won't resist on market with all their monthly expenses which are not small at all.

2. they close the business and keep the rest of the money. very simple to do it.

option one is not always true.

for example c-cex.com lost all his btc in march 2014, but right now is more alive than ever.
If they can recover all the btc, and prove that they will improve security, they can survive

I agree. this is what I said too. it takes time(months, maybe a year) until you regain the trust. Bitstamp has a lot of expenses. it's hard to keep a company with zero money....

Bitstamp lost 18K BTC. https://blockchain.info/address/1L2JsXHPMYuAa9ugvHGLwkdstCPUDemNCf

that means around of 4,8 MIL. USD

what's next? Bitcoin price will go down....

After the price crash, this is another blow to Bitcoin. Sad

Bitstamp fucked up, but what can I believe now? Cold wallet,maybe.

CEO is in vegas as we speak

is he opening a strip club? alas magikarpa muffin shop?

hahaha, yes, he is in a middle of lap dance while someone is breaking his "house". you see, the owners are two "kids" who are thinking they are Gods just because they made millions from their clients.
next time, be more careful to whom you entrust your money.

More than that, there are rumors their bank account will be frozen.
